NEDO- Energy management by configuring a Virtual Microgrid

Abstract:

This use case describes a “Virtual Microgrid(VMG)” that supplies power to end-users while achieving simultaneous balancing of supply and demand. “VMG” is a concept for specific distributed energy resources and power receiving facility to balance the total supply and demand in each time period (simultaneous balancing). Through construction of a VMG that includes renewable energy such as wind, PV and biomass, the use of these renewables can be maximized and the negative effects of output fluctuations on the commercial grid can be minimized.
